Beyond the custom electronic gate and sitting at the end of a long private gravel road is a secluded, 2021 custom built home on 54 +/- pristine acres with 2 stocked ponds. This property has been constantly improved for over a decade with a priority focused on wildlife and habitat, making the property a wildlife oasis.
The custom built 2021 home consists of 4 bedrooms and 2 baths. This home has approximately 2200 sqft of living space. This floorplan was designed by the owners to provide the most efficient amount of living space. The large kitchen offers plenty of room for more than one cook to prepare meals and a pantry to store food. Dont worry about slamming the wooden cabinet doors or drawers, they are soft closed. The granite counter tops are not only beautiful, they also make for easy cleanup. Enjoy winter holidays in the living room, sitting around the wood burning stove relaxing. The home has 9 ft walls with a vaulted ceiling in the living room, why, because everything is bigger in Texas. When your done working outside or hunting, kick your boots off in the mud room and washup in deep utility sink. The deep private well provides water to the home and water to numerous outdoor spigots for watering livestock, horses, and/or gardens. The home has an approximately 400 sqft finished loft, and offers additional office space or area for the guests. There is also a second electric meter in place and provides electricity to the well and has an electrical plug for RV hookup. A newly built large covered metal carport makes parking easy. The long, carport helps keeping your vehicle out of the outdoor elements and will keep you dry, when walking into the house on those rainy days.
In addition to the house, there is a 25x25 metal workshop with concrete flooring and electricity. There is an additional, unattached covered carport, adjacent to the house with a separate area for outdoor storage. A porch/gazebo is situated in the backyard and offers an relaxing outdoor hangout area.
The land consists of roughly half pasture and half woods/brush providing an equal balance for habitat. The whole property is fenced which provides easy boundary lines. The Jack Young wet weather creek runs throughout portions of the property which is provides an additional water source for wildlife during rains. Trees consists of mostly oak and cedar. The pasture mainly consists of native grasses such as little and big blue stem among other plant and grass species. The property is currently under a Wildlife tax exemption but can easily be converted into an Agriculture tax exemption. The property has 2 cross fences for potential livestock grazing. The landowners are members of the local Buckners Creek Wildlife Association and practice wildlife management, predator control, prescribed burns, brush management, and supplemental year-round feeding with food plots and feeders. A healthy population of whitetail deer, some turkey, hog, fowl, song birds, dove, and a bunch of other small game species frequent the property. There are 2 stocked ponds which have never gone dry in the 10 plus years that the landowners have lived here. In 2023 one of the ponds was expanded which is over an acre in size and was stocked with bluegill, bass, and catfish in 2024.
